Chapter 658: From Easy to Difficult

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking leaders of the Federal Parliament and the Military, along with Morris, felt a surge of energy.

On the other side, Yi Chen, who received this notification through the Video Clip transmitted by the Shadow King using his Perception Ability, immediately consumed a portion of his fortune for himself and the Shadow King.

Five minutes later, powerful energy fluctuations began to emerge one by one.

In the blink of an eye, large battleships appeared before everyone’s eyes.

There were a total of five.

All arrived as expected.

This made Lu Qingxian and the federal high-ranking leaders breathe a sigh of relief.

At the very least, nothing unexpected happened on the way to the star cluster.

Next, they would have to see if any surprises would occur shortly after arriving in the star cluster.

They secretly prayed for good fortune, hoping that these powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, especially the two level 220 strong fighters, had strong enough fortunes or solid lives to avoid the impact of the star cluster.

Soon, the doors of the five large battleships opened one after another.

Powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe flew out from the massive doors.

“Lord Bunier, Lord Resk, welcome to both of you!”

Morris immediately stepped forward and bowed to greet the two level 220 strong fighters at the forefront.

Resk simply ignored him, as if he hadn’t heard Morris’ greeting.

Bunier nodded in acknowledgment.

Morris was one of his subordinates.

Although he did not think highly of this subordinate, he still had to show some respect since he was one of his six level 210 strong fighters.

Morris then greeted the other five level 210 strong fighters individually.

As for the level 200 strong fighters and those level 180 and level 190 beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, he paid no attention to them.

These strong fighters and high-end combatants held no higher position in the foreign affairs department than he did.

Soon, Lu Qingxian and the other federal high-ranking leaders also stepped forward to pay their respects.

Due to the increased importance placed on humanity and the fact that these high-ranking leaders of the human federation belonged to the rulers of the vassal races, both Bunier and Resk, who were both level 220 strong fighters, nodded in response.

Their attitude was much better than that of the previous groups from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This left Lu Qingxian and the other federal high-ranking leaders feeling pleasantly surprised and filled with joy.

“Chairman Lu, since we have already arrived at the star cluster, let’s not waste any time and handle everything as soon as possible!”

It was clear that this Tree-Dwelling Tribe force was led by Bunier.

He looked at Lu Qingxian and instructed, “Are you prepared to receive the resource materials?”

“We are ready!”

Lu Qingxian quickly nodded.

“Very good!”

Bunier handed a huge Space Stone to a level 210 strong fighter beside him.

He then turned to Lu Qingxian and explained, “All the relevant materials are contained within this Space Stone. Five level 210 strong fighters will escort it to the designated location and then distribute it.”

“Additionally, they will stay at your human federation’s headquarters to ensure your safety. Even if an attack occurs after distributing these resources and treasures, they can rush to provide support immediately.”

“Okay!”

Lu Qingxian nodded repeatedly and gestured towards Marshal Iron Blood , saying, “Let the Marshal take charge of this matter!”

Marshal Iron Blood nodded and stepped forward to meet the level 210 strong fighter holding the Space Stone.

Before long, he led a group of high-ranking leaders from the parliament and military along with five level 210 strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe back onto a large battleship, heading to the life planet where the Federation Military Headquarters is located.

At that moment, the life planet hosting the Federation Military Headquarters was already crowded with thousands of transport ships.

These transport ships were responsible for delivering resources and treasures in batches to the factories constructing large battleships and various military bases.

“Next comes the trouble you face.”

Bunier looked at Lu Qingxian and continued, “Let’s start with the easier part and tackle the Soul Clan first! Do you have any related signals from the Soul Clan?”

“Yes, we do!”

Lu Qingxian quickly nodded, shifting his gaze to Morris.

Morris explained, “Whether it’s the strongest member of humanity, the Shadow King, or the Soul Emperor from the Soul Clan, I have preserved their relevant signals and items here.”

“Then let’s get started and find the Soul Clan!”

Bunier commanded.

This was a plan he discussed with Blake.

The relationship between the star cluster and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was unfavorable. Even though both he and Blake were level 220 strong fighters with immense fortune, they felt a bit apprehensive.

So they decided to start with the easier task. They would begin with the simplest aspect—the Soul Clan—and test the waters, assessing the situation and outcomes.

Nearby, Yi Chen and the Shadow King were filled with joy.

Good luck had come!

As they hoped, the head of this Tree-Dwelling Tribe force decided to begin with the Soul Clan.

After learning this from the Video Clip transmitted by the Shadow King, Yi Chen suppressed his excitement and immediately took out his communication stone to send a message to Mares, notifying him to completely ignore any contact from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This way, the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would either suspect that Mares had changed his mind and still wanted to seek revenge on Morris in the star cluster, or they would suspect that Mares had been dealt with by the Shadow King.

In such a case, it would be enough to find a way to deal with the personnel skilled in tracking and searching techniques within the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces, thereby buying time.

Because the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would either need to spread out throughout the entire star cluster to search or ask for assistance from the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This would require them to send over personnel adept at tracking and searching techniques again.

For the first option, although the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had numerous personnel, only two level 220 strong fighters could sense the presence of the Shadow King.

If it was just the two of them, finding the Shadow King’s whereabouts would require a lot of time combing through the entire star cluster.

Moreover, this was the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s estimated result.

In reality, even those two level 220 strong fighters would likely be unable to sense the Shadow King’s presence.

Their only hope was to comb through the entire star cluster and discover the existence of the Great Flame Empire.

As for the second option, it would take two months for the foreign affairs department to send over personnel skilled in tracking and searching techniques.

Let alone the fact that before they arrived, or after they arrived, ways could be found to deal with them.

At present, what Yi Chen needed to do was to take advantage of the time while the Tree-Dwelling Tribe dealt with the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan to eliminate the personnel skilled in tracking and searching techniques from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The only challenge was that he could only rely on the strength of the Shadow King and could not involve Boses and Titan Bo.

Otherwise, it would raise the suspicions of the high-ranking leaders in the foreign affairs department, making them aware that powerful fighters still existed in the star cluster.

Originally, he could have relied on Mares’ strength, but the fact that Mares had teamed up with the Shadow King could expose this matter publicly in the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

This would lead to news spreading about Mares’ betrayal of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, which could be known by those secret subordinates cultivated by Mares.

Despite the fact that those subordinates were currently loyal to Mares and had their lives in his hands, there was always a risk that they would betray Mares after learning of his betrayal.

Now, Yi Chen also needed to make use of Mares’ subordinates to gather the materials needed for the Fourth Generation Cave Paradise in the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, as they could be useful in the future.

It was better to keep this from leaking.

Fortunately, as long as luck is strong enough, any trouble can be solved.

Under normal circumstances, with the current strength realm of the Shadow King, it would be hard to escape from the pursuit of two level 220 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters after eliminating those skilled in tracking and searching techniques.

But as long as fortune is strong enough, nothing is impossible to achieve.
